Holiday Festivities

I'm pretty sure it's been Kentucky's coldest winter...ever. Not ok. I'm not a huge fan of cold weather, that's why I love the South in the first place. Now I feel like I live in Alaska or something. Ever since December started, there has been snow on the ground. But, hey, at least I get to wear boots every day and people don't harrass me for it. So at least that's successful. Not so successful? My delightful law school personal statement, which is still being written. So I'm taking a break to share some of my favorite holiday goings-on with my lovely readers!

Decorating!
I absolutely adorable my little Christmas tree, which I put by the mantle in my apartment.
This penguin ornament I got at the ornament exchange last year at the annual girls' Christmas party.



And this year's ornament(s) were these cute Santas!



One more of my favorites from the tree, thanks for putting up with my ornament obsession!



Other than decorating the tree, one of my favorite Christmas traditions is the Christmas Party with my best friends. Usually it's a Murder Mystery theme, and our hostess Emily invites the boys, but this year they were banned from the festivities! We had an all-girls evening at Em's adorable new house, all decked out in vintage Christmas decorations!




After a delicious Italian dinner and chatting about engagements, we exchanged ornaments and Christmas presents. Then we embarked on an ill-fated trip to see Christmas lights...who turns off their lights at 11 anyway? Isn't night the time to look at Christmas decorations? Regardless of that, it was a fantastic evening with some of my favorite people!



Christmas in Danville, where I lived for 10 years, was a new addition to the festivities, with Ben, Felicia, Olivia and I driving down to see the gorgeous downtown decorated for the holidays!




Of course, we forgot that everything in Danville closes pretty early, so we just had time to eat at Bluegrass Pizza and snap a few pictures before grabbing some coffee at the Hub! (which closes at 9, by the way! so early!) And the best part of the evening was getting to visit Burke's Bakery, a childhood favorite, which stayed open a little late just for us! Marvelous!




and, of course, I made comical faces throughout the evening. Lovely.

Well, that was excessively long! It was just such a wonderful Christmas I had to share! I've heard so many of my friends say that their New Year's Resolution is to blog more, which of course made me think of my own poor, neglected blog. I'm considering blogging my daily outfits for fun, now I just have to find a photographer...
